Fr. Richard McCafferty's Memorial Scholarship application for 2020 is available here and in the parish rectory.
Fr. Richard Memorial Scholarship
Applications are due on September 25th
The Fr. Richard Honorary Scholarship was established in 2010 in celebration of Fr. Richard McCafferty’s 85th Birthday and his devoted and long-time service to the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Community.
Following his death in March 2013, the scholarship became the Fr. Richard Memorial Scholarship. To honor Fr. Richard’s ordination in the Jesuit order, the scholarship is awarded annually to a student attending one of the West Coast Jesuit universities. Applicants must be a staff member or registered parishioner of St. Charles Borromeo.
Applications are due Friday, September 25, 2020.

- Catholics who feel their spiritual formation has stopped and are not sure how to get it growing again
